The method works particularly well in mass production, where short lead times are vital. This significantly reduces the total production time compared to processes with broaching, shaping and hobbing , for more manageable and predictable component machining. The majority of these ― over 60 percent ― are multi-task machines.

The program is integrating, demonstrating, and validating technologies capable of reducing CO 2 emissions as well as nitrous oxide (NOx) and noise emissions by up to 30% compared to 2014 “state-of-the-art” aircraft. The team also reduced the manufacturing lead time from nine months to two and a half months, by approximately 75%.
